Sacred Sabbath – Embracing Divine Rest

“C H O F Ministry: “Where Scripture Meets Innovation” 🙌🏿

Praise the Lord, valiant warriors of faith! May the tranquility of the Sabbath infuse your spirit with divine peace this blessed Sunday. ✨

“In the stillness of God’s creation, our souls discover a sanctuary of divine rest.” – Bishop W. F. Houston, Jr. ✝️

Divine Revelation: Exodus 20:8–11 — “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.” 📖

Our Philosophical Term For Today: “Anapausis” (ἀνάπαυσις) (Greek) 🏛️
Meaning: Anapausis signifies the divine rest and rejuvenation granted by our Creator — a sacred pause from our labors that restores our spirit, mind, and body. It calls us to embrace moments of stillness to experience God’s renewing presence and clarity in our lives.

🤔 I remember a serene Sunday morning, surrounded by nature’s soothing sounds. In that peaceful moment, all worries dissolved as I rested in God’s gentle presence. It was a powerful reminder that even amidst life’s chaos, we’re always invited to slow down, refresh our spirits, and deepen our connection with the Divine.

🌈 Beloved, let the Sabbath be your sanctuary. Embrace this divine pause as a cherished encounter with our Creator. May you find solace in His presence, allowing His peace to replenish your soul and guide you into the week ahead with renewed strength and purpose.

Let Us Go Into The Throne Room of Grace and Mercy:

Heavenly Father 👑, we thank You for the gift of rest and the promise of Anapausis. Pour out Your divine peace upon us this Sabbath, quieting our hearts and renewing our strength. Help us cherish this sacred pause as a moment to reflect on Your unfailing love and to be restored in Your grace. In Jesus’ mighty name, To God Be The Glory. 🙏🏿

🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️Rest in divine harmony, I’m Bishop W. F. Houston Jr., inviting you to embrace God’s sacred rest this Sunday!
